Sartre, Foucault and Reason in History Toward an Existentialist Theory
- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: Univ of Chicago Pr
- Publish date: 07/01/1997
A history, thought Foucault, should be a kind of map, a comparative charting of structural transformations and displacements. But for Sartre, authentic historical understanding demanded a much more personal and committed narrative, a kind of interpretive diary of moral choices and risks compelled by critical necessity and an exacting reality. Sartre's history, a rational history of individual lives and their intrinsic social worlds, was in essence immersed in biography.
In Volume One of this authoritative two-volume work, Thomas R. Flynn conducts a pivotal and comprehensive reconstruction of Sartrean historical theory and provocatively anticipates the Foucauldian counterpoint to come in Volume Two.
